The CASN Simulation Nurse Educator Interest Group is pleased to present the following webinar session:
Webinar Title:
Innovations in Teaching and Learning – The Use of Virtual Simulation Games (VSG) in Nursing
Summary:
Games and gaming technology have moved beyond the traditional domain of entertainment since gaining popularity within healthcare education. Limitations of VSG development included the high cost of gaming software, time commitment for development, and significant manpower including computer programmers, subject matter experts, learning theorists, game designers and instructional design specialists. This accounts for the prohibitive cost associated with game development. This is especially problematic as VSG are an ideal platform for Interprofessional education (IPE). To address this issue, the authors of this workshop developed a cost-effective VSG development platform. This webinar will highlight a user-friendly approach to virtual simulation game development.
Learning Objectives:
This free, one-hour webinar will be of particular interest to anyone working in the Canadian health care system as well as educators who use, or are interested in using or learning more about simulation learning and related instrument development approaches.
